As food runs low and the weather changes from broiling hot to unbearably cold, it is all Dashti can do to make them comfortable in their dark prison. <p/>Not long after their confinement begins, Saren's suitors arrive--one welcome, the other less so-and she orders Dashti to speak to them. Impersonating Lady Saren is a crime punishable by death, but Dashti will have to play the role many times if she is to save them both from the tower and the dangers outside. As she takes control of their desperate situation, Dashti begins to understand her own astonishing talents and believe that even a low-born maid can find true love. <p/>Master storyteller Shannon Hale's beloved <i>Book of a Thousand Days</i> is equal parts fantastical and romantic, with an unforgettable protagonist to root for at its center.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Hale delivers another winning fantasy. . .
